SAMPLE
註釋
Dialogues of Maximus and Themistius
is the first English translation of Pierre Bayle’s last book,
Entretiens de Maxime et de Thémiste
, published posthumously in 1707. The two parts of the
Dialogues
offer Bayle’s final responses to Jean Le Clerc and Isaac Jaquelot, who had accused Bayle of supporting atheism through his writings on the problem of evil. The
Dialogues
defends Bayle’s thesis that the problem of evil cannot be solved by reason alone, but serves only to demonstrate the necessity of faith. In his Introduction to the
Dialogues
, Michael W. Hickson provides detailed historical and philosophical background to the problem of evil in early modern philosophy, as well as summary and analysis of Bayle’s debates with Le Clerc and Jaquelot.
